Re: West Highland Sailing - New Website
On the introduction page, where it reads "Starting your cruise at the base at Laggan Locks" surely it should be "Starting your cruise at OUR base at Laggan Locks"
Calling it a day now, will look through the rest tomorrow.

Changed. Thanks for that. I must say it is very handy having a team of proofreaders available

It did say Anoch, you have changed it to Aonoch, it should be Aonach. (The Mor is right, though.)

Re: West Highland Sailing - New Website
You can tell I am bored out here....
Loch Ness Introduction page, paragraph 2 needs a comma after action "Loch Ness Project in action"
Charts of the canal - this is most confusing. Layout of charts at bottom of page have North up as you would expect. Actual maps when opened have North DOWN - contrary to all normal practice. If they cannot be changed, a warning should be posted.
On the links page: When the photographs stop, the links below that are set too far to the left and are actually off the clear white bit (if that makes sense)
Otherwise all looks good!
